Software-defined storage (SDS): Concepts

Traditional / hardware-defined Software-defined

Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD)

Proprietarycontrollers

Proprietarystorage software

• Tightly coupled, fixed systems

• Proprietary hardware and software

• Adoption of software innovation delayed by longer hardware innovation cycles

JBOD

Standard x86 server

Any storage software

• Disaggregated systems

• Multiplemodes of implementation

• Industry-standard hardware

• Software and hardware cycles are independent

Flexibility• Match workload requirements

precisely

• Configure and reconfigure as needs change

• Use your choice of industry-standard hardware

Agility• Enable policy-based storage

management

• Benefit from technology advancements in storage software as it happens

• Scale precisely, limitlessly

Efficiency• Improve cost-effectiveness

• Reduce reliance on high-cost storage hardware for data-intensive IT initiatives

• Reduce overall infrastructure
